"Del Breckenfeld knows cool. Fender, the brand he oversees, has such a high cool factor that even millions of non-musicians aspire to use its products.

Read it to find out how cool is your most effective secret weapon and learn how to add it to your marketing arsenal."

He's that rarebreed who has mastered the art of combining the very best of music and film, and creating ripples of contagious enthusiasm wherever he goes. It's time corporate America understands they can create and not just duplicate. The Cool Factor is the best big-picture primerI know for anyone looking to 'widespread' a little magic."
